As far as I can tell from my experience, which is now several decades old, defective RCA cables are often the result of improper handling. XLR is much more robust, but has advantages especially with longer cable runs. This is why this connection is used for microphones, but above all for the connection to the PA. Otherwise, of course, RCA also does a good job, even in the professional sector, as media players such as CDJs are still connected to the mixer using RCR cables.
Either Thomann or Gear4Music was showing July availability. Maybe earlier if pre-ordered?
I would pre-order from Sweetwater in the USA, if I knew I could get it earlier. Otherwise, Iāll just wait till itās officially out.
For sure. This could also be accomplished with balanced jacks on a future version (smaller footprint?). From what I understand they havenāt got the physical space available in the unit right now though.

I was just skimming through the posts here and came across this one again. Have you read this somewhere or can you actually confirm it from your own experience? I tried it once and it didnāt work for me.
In general, controllers do not unlock all of the pro features, but only a selection of them. Iām pretty sure in all cases you need a pro subscription to access all of the djay pro features. For example the Mixon 8 Pro unlock Neural Mix, the Sampler and DVS.
It was just a query because it was pointed out above that the old Mixtour should also unlock some features. And I couldnāt find that in my case, not even for selected functions.
I usually do check before making statements like that, to try and ensure that theyāre correct.
I did have another quick look yesterday after reading your post, but the results are getting lost in the references to the new model.What I did find though was a PDF chart on the Reloop site which shows what works/doesnāt work for their various hardware in the various version of DJay.
As Slak_Jaw says, when they say āunlockā it doesnāt necessarily mean completely (even with the Mixtour Pro).

Thatās right, it means that the Mixtour Pro unlocks features that can be controlled with this device. In practice, however, this should make no real difference to full activation for most users. At the moment, I canāt imagine what wouldnāt work with it, but what you would definitely want to use (and what makes sense with such a controller). But of course, requirements are also different, and perhaps something like this will only really become apparent in practice.
Thanks for the reference to the PDF, Iāll just have another look.

Expected availability June! (but Iām not holding my breathe just yet).
Also a new bag/stand.

Iām looking forward to the first reviews, I hope Reloop will deliver at least a few devices in advance for testing purposes.
For this controller in particular, it would be nice if Djay Pro would also display the cue points on the screen in the same way as they are arranged on the controller (two columns instead of two rows).

Me too, but reviews wonāt really have an impact on me.
Been using the original Mixtour for djay (Windows) for several months now and it is just high quality piece of equipment. The integration with djay is just flawless.
Call me naive but I think the Mixtour Pro will just be a upgrade on all checkpoints, already pre-ordered it from Thomann.

I do think that reviews are at least a point of reference. Iām not making my purchase dependent on that either, I pre-ordered the controller back in February, but Iām still reasonably curious. But Iām also interested to see which features in Djay Pro will actually be unlocked with this controller and whether it makes sense for me to extend my subscription, as it expires in a few weeks.
I also have the old Mixtour here, but Iām still struggling with it. I have already adapted the mapping intensively to my needs, but too often functions cannot be accessed directly, too often it is necessary to switch between different modes. But I hope that this will largely be a thing of the past with the Mixtour Pro.
I might have misspoke there, reviews are always great. But for me personally I have already decided to buy it. 
But I agree that the original Mixtour is great, it really suffer a bit when it comes to more functions.
I walk around it by having a DDJ-SP1 connected as well.
But it looks like you get around double the buttons on the Mixtour Pro, so there will be much more options to re-mapp.
Do we know anything about this thing sound card? i loved mk1 but that thing was unusable anything outside of the house
16bit sound with rca wasnt really strong enough
is that good considering its just rca?

Iām definitely not an audio cable and connection expert, but in my personal opinion and in my personal experience, RCA cables are perfectly fine as long as the cable quality is high, theyāre properly shielded, and the length is relatively short (2m). However, I know that opinions on this topic vary greatlyā¦

hopefuly this time audio card is strong enough for club gigs
last one was rly terrible
Exactly - RCA connections do not equal low sound quality. The āindustry standardā Pioneer CDJs have RCA outputs (even the Tour versions).

@stormz94 it seems to be good enough for Laidback Luke to use on huge festival and club sound systemsā¦
